We explored and hiked the Discovery Trail route today. We had such fun discovering gems like this and our posing fox. There were forests afire with fall leaves, sea cliffs, and gorgeous hikes. A hat trick day for sure!So, this dear one decided to pose for a portrait today. It approached the car, hoping we’d be bad humans, and feed it but we didn’t so it sat down hoping to change our mind with its cuteness. Eventually, it grew tired of posing with no caloric reward and moved on down the beach. So amazing to capture its beauty.How excited are we to be headed out to hike amid the fall colours? This excited!We’re back on the island of Newfoundland and enjoyed a short hike besides Pipers Hole River once again to take in the magnificently gorgeous autumn leaves. The drive North was beautiful with the sun occasionally peeking through to light up parts of the bogs and marshes who are also joining the fall colour revolution.A view into a window on Ile aux Marin revealed the history of the island.Enjoying another fine breakfast @lesterrassesspm looking out at the harbour and colourful St. Pierre. I’m looking over to I’ll aux Marin and remembering the buttery evening light as we departed on the Les Petits Graviers (the boat that transported us both to the island and back in time) and this view when I poked my head out around the cover provided by the boat.TA’s Facebook Page

Signal Hill Seven Times
A quick edit on some training footage-I was trying out the “audio” back on the Go Pro and some different angles and shots off using the ski pole mount. A lovely day to be out on the hill.

Packing, Sewing, Charging

Republic of Snow (a.k.a. Snow Day 3)
The third in a series of “snow day” movies. Always fun to be out in a storm and see what the helmet cam can do. Today was climbing seven of the steepest hills in the downtown St. John’s.
